Detailed Description

Describes a general note, used in dimensioning and hatch text.

Remarks

This type is used in many as text blocks of any kind of dimensions. You can only create notes with leader line on angle dimensions, floor plan dimensions and hatches. If you want to create a note with leaderline you will have to set fixpos to true, but you do not have to calculate pos and noteAngle because leaderline will determine these automatically. subContent is removed in API 14.
